Can plant roots cause damage to the building?
Modern, root resistant rainwater-proofing membranes prevent root penetration effects. In case of retrofitting, a root-resistant layer (FLW-1000) should be used.
What about mowing and the treatment of grass clippings?
With adequate mowing frequency, clippings may be left on the surface and they will boost natural nutrient cycling.
Can a pond be made on the roof?
Shallow decorative ponds can be made in almost every intensive roof garden. A key criterion is to have separate roof rainwater and pond insulation.
